Starting in January 2012 the University of Nebraska-Lincoln has been a host institution for the Brazilian Scientific Mobility program, or Ciência sem Fronteiras. As an initiative of the Brazilian government, 100,000 of Brazil’s brightest students will complete one year of study in a STEM field at an institution in the United States. It is expected that the United States will receive the majority of these students.

Brazil has recently become the number 2 country of origin for international students at UNL. One tool for attracting Brazilian students has been a new bilingual splash page: international.unl.edu/brasil. The University is working hard to establish relationships with Brazilian institutions that will advantage UNL and Brazilian faculty and students.
